Freedom of Expression in the 21st Century

Sprednja platnica
SAGE Publications, 25. jan. 1999 - 240 strani

An ideal supplement for any course with the goal to make free speech issues meaningful and relevant to young media professionals today.

Features of the text:

  1. INTERACTIVE - it helps instructors engage students in meaningful discussions about current free speech issues. It presents situations, often taken from court cases, followed by questions that challenge students to clarify and justify their own beliefs about freedom of expression.
  2. INTERNATIONAL - communicates how and why countries and governments, other than the United States, deal with free speech issues in different ways.
  3. NEUTRAL- not a flag-waving catechism for the "American way". Asks difficult questions as to whether the freedoms many U. S. citizens take for granted are the best approach to some issues. It develops critical thinking skills.
